Joshua, reinstalling compiz worked like a charm to me. Don't know exactly why or when, my system installed a whole lot of KDE-based programs. Once I reinstalled compiz, they were all deleted and I finally had the chance to use the effects.
I recommend everyone to check if compiz is correctly installed before taking other steps. My thanks to both Ubuntu team and the community as a whole. -- Gnome Appearance Properties dialog hangs when changing desktop effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554106 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
